‘I absolutely loved this book! I was laughing out loud at certain scenes and when I tried to go to bed I ended up giggling myself into a fit thinking about them. Absolutely amazing… A delightful, HILARIOUS book.’ Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars Cat’s life has hit a brick wall. Since her ex ditched her without ceremony five years ago she’s quit stand-up comedy, landed in a steady but dull job, and lives in a tiny flat with roommates she knows only as The One Who Eats All My Food and The One Who Has Really Loud Sex. So when she bumps into old friend Harvey and sparks fly, Cat is surprised – and horrified, because Harvey is her ex’s brother, and so absolutely, 100% off-limits romantically. Even if his dimples do make her insides fizz… When she’s offered a new job abroad, Cat is tempted to accept – and leave her depressing flat and mess of a love life behind her. But will running away from her problems really solve them? A hilarious rom com about falling in love, falling out of love, and finding out who you really are.

Six 'friends', one flat, big dreams... what could go wrong? When sixteen-year-old Anna drops out of school and moves to Liverpool, she feels like her life has finally begun. She's working for an exciting theatre company, she's living with some students that she hopes will become good friends in time, and their house is cute (if not slightly run-down) and on a buzzing street lined with shops, bars, and buskers. But although her new life is fun, it's also a little overwhelming. And although Anna's housemates seem to be a gang of firm friends (a gang that doesn't really seem to include her) they're also a little mixed-up, and soon Anna can't resist the idea of blogging and tweeting about her experiences, from the hilarious to the ridiculous to the little-bit-scary. Online gossiping doesn't count, right? But when Anna spills a bigger secret than she can handle, suddenly the consequences are all too real.
